San O Flatty - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

So the Iceman PM's me yesterday and says he is thinking about hitting San O this morning. Looked like it was going to be warm with no surf so I said sure Got there just before the gates opened and rigged the kayaks. I said that I was going to paddle to the San Mateo Kelp because that is where the DP half day boats are picking up onesie twosies YT fairly consistently. Paddled the 2.5 miles out there, paddled around the area for another mile or so, followed the kelp back down the line to in front of the domes for another 2 miles and then back into shore for another mile. All por nada. Decided to fish the gulp grub 200 yards from the truck and this old girl came out to play.

I called it 25 lbs when I landed it but read just a shade over 30 on both a spring scale and a digital, including the game clip. 11 feet of water just outside the surf line but there was no surf.
